Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 1/24/2013

"When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the
lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer,
or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have
problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if
we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce.
Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using
reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no
argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you
understand, you can love, and the situation will
change."
